Humanities Grant Goes To Moravian Professor

Dr. Gary L. Olson, associate professor in the political science department at Moravian College, has been awarded a $3,000 grant by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Olson will use the grant to attend a seminar on the resurgence of Islamic fundamentalism in the Arab world at the University of California at Los Angeles.

Olson, a recipient of the Lindback Award for distinguished teaching, was named a senior Fulbright-Hays lecturer in Finland several years ago, where he taught United States foreign policy at the University of Turku and conducted research on worker self-management in Norway and Sweden.
